Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

Through this course students with a special interest area within the field of computational biology can perform studies that have been individually defined for the specific student to fit his/her interests. Course contents and examination will be individually defined for each student. The course can only be offered if the department has sufficient resources and competence within the special interest area.

No instruction is given on this course.

Intended learning outcomes

After passing this course you will be able to solve a design, implementation or investigative task with limited supervision, and to report the result of such a task. More precisely, you will be able to

  • plan, carry through and report such a task in computational biology,
  • obtain and evaluate information applicable for carrying out the task,
  • choose a course of approach and define, follow and follow up a plan for carrying out the task in a given resource budget (6 hp),
  • report your results orally and in writing, professionally,
  • show increased knowledge in an area of computational biology.
